I've got an IOGear PS2/SVGA KVM that I am hoping to use on my new Mac Mini (when it gets here!). Anyway, all my keyboards and mice are PS/2. I use them regularly via PS/2->USB Y-cables on PC's and laptops I own that do not have PS/2 connections without issue.

In fact, I do the same thing THROUGH my KVM, so I am hoping to not have an issue with the Mac Mini as I would hate to have to incorporate two keyboards and two mice onto my desk...

Your KVM should work ok, but don't expect to use any special features (keyboard shortcut keys, etc). I wasn't happy with my old PS/2 KVM when I got my first mac over a year ago because of various mice/keyboard issues, so I purchased an IOGEAR 4 port USB one (which also has additional cables you can buy that will hook into old legacy PS/2 instead of USB for things like my linux boxes). All my linux boxes are happy (I purchased the PS/2 cables for it, and my Mac is always happy and actually sees what type of keyboard and mouse (Logictech wireless) is on the otherside so I can actually use the special functions. I'm so glad I got this KVM.... It's not DVI, but I couldn't really tell that much difference from my Powerbook plugged in DVI and VGA....

I have a 4 port IOGear USB KVM (G-CSIO4U) and it works okay with the mini via VGA. Drawbacks to my KVM: no keyboard switching, USB 1.1 (not 2.0), no DVI, no audio. I'd want all those things if I bought another one. As it is now, some of my usb devices are only available to the mini and not my XP boxes. I'll also be using the monitors selector for VGA/DVI once my new monitor comes.

I have a 4-port IOGear PS/2 KVM. I have seen ZERO issues with PS/2<>USB (y-cables) adapters working with the mini...

Are you using any specialized keyboards/mice that have advanced features and OS X driver software (like hot keys, volume buttons, play/pause, etc). If so, do these work ok through the y-adapters? I didn't have any luck with them.

Nope...Standard, boring, featureless keyboard and mouse..

You are right that specialized keyboards and mice typically will not work as expected with the vendor drivers through these adapters..._________________ -=iMav=- http://geekhack.org
